Hey fellow former autoworker!

I also found that the grad student union was pretty well run and did reasonable things at Berkeley. If they didn't go crazy-hard-left there of all places, it seems unlikely for some of the more far-fetched scenarios to play out elsewhere.

The biggest issue I recall them addressing was health insurance for spouses and dependents of grad students, namely defending that from being cut. I think they did good work.
